Degree Completion Programs

General Degree Requirements

To be admitted to as a Computer Science Major, the following requirements need to be met:

• SOU’s University Studies Requirements (see University Studies Requirements .pdf on this page), Oregon Block Transfer Degree, or the CSU or IGETC in California.
• Have approximately 90 quarter hours of transferable credits from an accredited institution. Students with less than 90 hours may still enter the program; however, some lower division courses may need to be taken in order to meet all of the degree requirements.
• Cumulative GPA of no less than 2.5
• Completion of CS 256 Computer Science I and CS 257 Computer Science II with a B or better

If you'd like more information about the Computer Science Degree Program please contact an advisor for more details.

All courses with a Computer Science (CS) and Math (Mth) prefixes must be taken for a grade. 

If you are a transfer student or wish to take lower division coursework through a community college, please visit the SOU transfer student website.  You can look up courses at for many community colleges to make sure they will transfer to SOU on the Transfer Equivalencies  page; there are three options for searching.  

If you are shopping for lower division courses offered in the online format at any Oregon community college, go to Oregon Colleges Online.

If you are shopping for lower division courses offered in the online format at a California college, go to California Virtual Campus.
